Patient's question:
Hello! I am currently 22 weeks pregnant. A few weeks ago, I experienced three episodes of abdominal pain, specifically pain around the navel, each lasting about twenty minutes. These three episodes all occurred around 10:00 PM when I hadn't yet gone to sleep. Could it be because I go to bed late? Additionally, I'm having very poor sleep right now. I often can't fall asleep during my midday nap, and I usually don't fall asleep until after 10:00 PM at night.Doctor's answer:
At 22 weeks pregnant, I have some pulling pain on the left side of my abdomen. If it's not too severe, it should be fine. If the pain is more intense, it's important to pay attention and prevent any unexpected complications. As for the cause, it's difficult to determine right now because many gynecological diseases and digestive system issues can cause the symptoms you're experiencing. Without a checkup, it's impossible to make a diagnosis. If you're not at ease with your condition, you can go to the maternity ward of the hospital for an examination to rule out any unexpected situations, which will give you peace of mind.
